Industry Analyst Relations

---

Analyst relations is critical to the success of your marketing and public relations initiatives. Analysts interact with the media, current and potential customers, employees, investors, and financial analysts. They influence media coverage, affect purchasing decisions, drive investor behavior, impact industry status, and define industry trends.

We identify key analysts and make proper introductions in the early stages of corporate positioning and product launches. We ensure that analysts understand and appreciate your market positioning and that you are a valued resource to analysts during significant market and technology changes.

What We Do For You

We orchestrate a comprehensive outreach effort that helps you establish and maintain successful relationships with industry analysts. Some of the specific tasks we undertake on your behalf include the following:

Analyst Survey

We research the landscape of industry analysts and prioritize those them for you based on their ability to positive or negatively affect your business interests. The final deliverable is a list of key, influential industry analysts who you should have on your radar screen.

Research

We secure important analyst reports on industry trends and announcements so that you can keep abreast of analyst perceptions in your market.

Initiating Relationships

Meeting Preparation

We thoroughly prepare you for analyst interaction through message positioning exercises, extensive spokesperson training, presentation development, client reference preparation, and in-depth briefing materials about the analysts you are meeting with and their backgrounds and areas of interest.

Maintaining Relationships
